Man, this is going to be really ironic, but here's a link to IGN that explains what it's about (more or less). For what it's worth, I didn't have a clue about the entire series, until it was explained to me in Gonegold.

As for whether it's a COOL RPG GAME(!!!!!!!!!), I couldn't say, since I've absolutely no experience in playing any of the titles.

Wow. I didn't even know Working Designs was still in business. Have they released anything since Gungriffon Blaze and Silpheed back in 2000/2001? Glad to see they are still around. Those Lunar sets were great. Dragon Force and Iron Storm ruled on the Saturn!!!

Their last big RPG project was the Arc the Lad Collection for the PSOne, which I think came out in 2001 (I still haven't finished it ). I hope the August release date holds, since they are notorious for delays. I haven't heard much about it lately, though, so I wouldn't be surprised if it did get delayed. I hope they get the game out before it gets drowned in the flood of RPGs coming this fall/winter.

Yup, I just checked EBGames.com for the release date (because they're always right), and it's been pushed back to September. And I'm guessing it'll once again, keep on getting pushed more and more. Like it has been in the near past often.

Actually, I'm banking on the Sept release. The information and such that they have posted makes this one look like it's really almost finished this time. That, and they've been working on it for over a year now (might be more, but I'm not sure). It's a shame that they couldn't include Growlanser 1 in the package. From what I understand, Sony won't let them package a PS1 game in with PS2 games.

I don't think it's the 2d syndrome. I believe it's a matter of marketing. From what I understand, they won't let *anyone* package a PS1 and a PS2 game in the same set. They're concerned with brand image and questions that might arise on the game because PS2 needs one type of memory card, and another for the PS1 version, and so forth...
